Taylor Davis (violinist)
Taylor Davis (born March 20, 1987) is an , arranger, and composer. Davis is best known for her violin-covers of music from video games featured on her YouTube channel "Taylor Davis", where she also features performances of her own arrangements of music from films and musicals. From July 2013, she has begun releasing her own original compositions as well.
During 2012 Davis released two albums and an assortment of singles. The first album is called ''Gaming Fantasy'', and it features tunes from various video games arranged for violin.〔 Six months later ''An Enchanted Christmas'' was released (as the name says, this album contains a collection of warm re-arrangements of several Christmas songs). In January 2013, Davis published her third album, called ''Game On: 2 Player mode''. It has been co-produced and arranged along with Australian pianist Lara de Wit. With the help of a MIDI keyboard and the DAW "Logic Pro", Davis created all of the orchestral backtracks for these works.〔〔 ''Legendary Movie Music'', the fourth album, was released in July 2013. In November 2013, Davis released ''Melodies of Hyrule: Songs from "The Legend of Zelda"'', an homage to the melodies of the famous Nintendo's video game series ''The Legend of Zelda'', while ''The Anime and Game Collection'' was released in July 2014. Three months later, in October, Davis launched a crowdfunding campaign for the creation of her seventh album, the first one made up exclusively of original music.〔 The platform chosen for this project is PledgeMusic. The campaign achieved its goal in around a week, and the new album, entitled ''Taylor Davis'', was released in March 2015 and debuted at #10 on the ''Billboard'' Classical Charts.〔〔〔
==Biography==
Taylor Davis was born March 20, 1987 at Western Springs, Illinois. She became passionate about videogames since she was a child, especially due to her older brother, who was often involving her in his gaming sessions.〔 Davis started playing violin at the age of 8, while in elementary school, after being inspired by a young girl's performance of "Silent Night" on the violin at a school assembly.〔〔〔〔 While in middle school, Davis had been heavily bullied, and this had been a pretty sad and lonely time for her. This period lasted until she started attending high school, where she met her future husband, Jarred, who shared and supported her passions and interests, and this helped Davis to regain self-confidence. They got married in 2011, after being best friends for 14 years.〔 While in high school, Davis began playing video games music, and introduced this genre (especially tracks taken from ''Final Fantasy'' series) into school's ambient. Later, Davis attended Gonzaga University, and she kept introducing video game music to the college orchestra and to the quartet members as well.〔 In turn, some of the game music would get played at weddings and other gigs.〔 Davis graduated from Gonzaga with a "magna cum laude" degree in Public Relations, and minored in Violin Performance.〔〔〔
After attending college, she intended to get into the profession of scoring music for games, films, or other media. It did not work out at the time,〔 so she took a business job for a short time, while at the same time posting YouTube videos on the side (as a classically trained violinist, she was looking for a way to keep music a part of her life.)〔〔〔 Davis worked as a Marketing/PR person for a non-profilt organization until November 2011;〔 then, she decided to quit her job, so she could concentrate all her efforts into developing her career through YouTube.〔
